Washington, D.C. – Yesterday, NRSC Chairman Rick Scott and RGA Chairman Doug Ducey released a new poll conducted in battleground states that have 2022 Senate and Governor elections. The results show that Americans are rejecting the Democrats’ increasingly radical agenda.
As Fox News reported: “I think it’s clear that Biden’s honeymoon is over. It was pretty short,” Sen. Rick Scott of Florida told reporters on Monday.
Pointing to the results of a new poll commissioned by the National Republican Senatorial Committee (NRSC) and the Republican Governors Association (RGA), the NRSC chair charged that Americans are “rejecting Biden and the Democrats’ increasingly radical agenda.”
Scott touted the results of the survey, which was conducted in 26 battleground states with key Senate and gubernatorial races next year. The partisan poll indicated a majority see the country on the wrong path, are concerned about the massive government spending proposals being pushed by the Biden administration and congressional Democrats, and, by a slight majority, blame the president’s polices for the rise in inflation.
Scott said Americans “are scared to death over what’s happening to inflation” and argued that “the Biden agenda and the Democrats’ agenda is not popular.”
As the Washington Examiner wrote: “Biden administration out of step with voters, GOP polls finds”
….
“Among the poll’s top findings, 56% of respondents blame President Joe Biden for increased illegal immigration.
The poll, conducted from June 1-3, with a margin of error of 2.8%, comes as an expected surge of migrants toward the U.S.-Mexico border puts the Biden administration on the defensive.
….
Harris, who was put in charge of the Biden administration’s response to the crisis at the border, scored poorly on the immigration issue. Just 9% said Harris was “very effective,” and 22% saw her being “somewhat effective.” And 51% viewed her as “not effective at all.”
Other poll results show why Republicans are hitting specific issues hard this cycle.
Those issues include critical race theory, a form of legal analysis that says inherent racism is widespread and ingrained in American society. The poll question showed an overwhelmingly negative response against the statement, “The United States was founded on the practice of slavery and white supremacy which continues to this day.”
Sixty-eight percent of all voters and 76% of independents disagreed with that notion, as did 28% of “strong Democrats.”
